Top 5 Benefits of Regular PAT Testing
Compliance with workplace health and safety is crucial in guaranteeing the seamless operation of a company, given the always-rising pressures in modern businesses. Workplace health and safety depend on PAT or portable appliance testing. At Daniel Gardner Electrical Contractor, we provide PAT testing services to help secure your business assets and staff. The following are the five main reasons your company should do frequent PAT testing:
Enhanced Workplace Safety
The first concern for us at Daniel Gardner Electrical Contractor is your safety. Frequent PAT testing guarantees that every portable device is safe to operate, therefore greatly lowering the chance of electric shocks, fires, and other dangerous events. Our detailed testing helps us to find possible problems before they become more serious, thereby ensuring safer surroundings for your staff, clients, and guests. Safety should be a top priority in your company culture rather than a last thought.
Compliance with Legal Requirements
Legal obligations can be difficult to navigate, but following the law is simple for the PAT testing we do since it is another means of ensuring you are on top of the safety criteria mandated by laws, including the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Electricity at Work Regulations. Run regular PAT testing using us with our commercial electrical contractors. Should you be audited or inspected, you can demonstrate that you follow your legal responsibilities, therefore protecting your business and giving you peace of mind.
Lowering of Insurance Claims and Premiums
Prove to your insurance company that you’re taking safety seriously! Your insurance premiums are likely to reduce from year to year due to PAT testing, reflecting your diligent risk-management processes. At the time of an unfortunate electrical incident, our up-to-date PAT test records will also be invaluable, as will our regular PAT testing check schedule, in that it can prove to your insurers that your organisation was taking all the right risk-reduction measures.
Increased Equipment Longevity
When you invest in it, your equipment will last longer and be safer. Our experienced electricians doing our PAT tests look for potential safety dangers and faults that, if not addressed, could later lead to expensive repairs and replacement. Keeping your equipment well-maintained lasts longer and saves your business money in repairs and downtime while a machine is out of action. Being smart with your finances regarding your business means being smart about maintenance – make sure you PAT test regularly.
Enhanced Business Reputation
Committing to making your workplace safe gives your business a good reputation. When your employees and suppliers are assured of safe work, they earn you their loyalty and trust. When your customers know you are committed to safety, they are more likely to choose your firm over the competition. Regular PAT testing by us at Daniel Gardner Electrical Contractor assures you that your workplace is safe.
Conclusion
Despite PAT being a necessity, not to mention a legal obligation, it is to be seen as the best investment in your business for the future. PAT tests will confirm that all electrical equipment and gadgets at your commercial premises are safe and fit, thus adding to an overall efficient and pleasant work environment crucial for every business’s success.
